Does anyone know?

What kind of tool, saw, etc. would be best to use to cut through a car tire??? I want to trim the upper edge of the tires off in my tire garden. I believe I read somewhere you can use an X-acto knife, but you have to keep changing the blades out just to cut one tire...I am thinking maybe a small hand held saw with teeney-weenie razor sharp teeth??? Let me know if you have any good ideas! Thanks...Julie

Hi Julie, I've read that you can use a knife with a strong stiff blade, a hacksaw, or a machete. If cutting with a knife, to keep the knife from sticking, trickle some water on the rubber behind the knife.

I think the quickest way would be to use a utility knife, though like you mentioned, you'll probably have to get a few extra blades for the whole tire.

About Me

I live in garden zone 10 (south Florida), and have a garden made from tires. I love embroidery, paper crafting, recycle crafts, a bit of machine sewing, and playing around with plants, particularly succulents, roses, and vegetables. I love my chihuahua and Betta fish, weekend trips and mostly just having fun! Oh, and I am slightly (OK,... majorly) obsessed with South Korea!
